OK, it's a wrap. Winter is over. It won't be official until March 20. But we're in for another warm spell, and there's no significant rain (no rain, period) in the forecast for the next 7-10 days. The National Weather Service says temperatures in San Diego will rise to the mid-70s on Wednesday and Thursday, about 10 degrees above normal. And some of the region's inland valleys could hit the mid-80s. Santa Ana winds caused our last couple of warm ups. That won't be the case this time. A large high pressure system will developed over the West Coast, allowing temperatures to rise. We'll be aided by the move to Daylight Saving Time, which is provides extra sunlight late in the day.

As for the ocean, well, that's another matter. Solspot.com says surf will be weak for the next couple of days, and sea surface temperatures are still in the 56-57 degrees range along most of the coast. You know the drill; pray for surf.
